A Sport and Rope Rescue Bibliography, by Thomas Evans

Presented here is a bibliography of books related to sport and rescue rigging divided by general subject. Readers are encouraged to read books from other disciplines. The full list of citations can be downloaded here.

For those interested, I have written a review of all of these citations, and that full review can be found on this page, or can be downloaded here.

Note: Because this bibliography has gotten so large, the list of books is broken up by their intended audience (e.g., firefighters, cavers, canyoneers, etc.). Readers are encouraged to read through the citations intended for other disciplines so you can find other useful resources.
